===Dragon Magazine Compendium Volume 1===
Intended to be part of a series of books gathering the more well-designed and received content from Dragon in official print, the 3.5 Dragon Compendium ironically came out in August 2007... as in, 4 months after it had been announced Dragon Magazine was shutting down. Consequently, it was the only one of its kind to ever be released. It featured the following articles:
* New Races:
** [[Diabolus]]: A [[fiend]]ish looking yet benevolent PC race.
** [[Diopsid]]: A playable race of humanoid beetles inspired by the stalk-eyed fly.
** [[Dvati]]: An extraplanar PC race consisting of a single soul shared between identical twin bodies.

* New Base Classes:
** Battle Dancer: A [[monk]] [[Variant Class]] with a Chaotic alignment, based on slaves who taught themselves unarmed martial arts forms disguised as dance styles to free themselves.

** Savant: The ultimate [[Skill Monkey]], a PC analogue to the [[Expert]] who uses their broad knowledge base to become a jack-of-all-trades character. Can be seen as a [[bard]] [[Variant Class]], given it can cast arcane and divine magic, and also sneak atack, whilst getting lots of feats.
** [[Sha'ir]]: A return of the famous [[genie]]-binding [[wizard]] [[Variant Class]] from [[Al-Qadim]].
** Urban Druid: As its name suggests, a [[Druid]] [[Variant Class]] that is bonded to the urban environment rather than the wilderness.
